They Called Armed Resistance To Tyranny A Pop Concept… So You Don’t Need It

About this video

Colion critiques a New Republic article that dismisses the anti-tyranny argument for the Second Amendment as a ‘pop constitutional concept.’ He argues that the author overlooks foundational legal precedent and the Founders’ intent, pointing to Federalist 46 and Heller’s recognition that the right protects against public violence. Colion contends that an armed populace serves as a deterrent to government overreach, and that critics use the success of this deterrent as justification to eliminate it.

Key takeaways

• Colion asserts that the Second Amendment’s purpose as a check against tyranny is rooted in founding documents and Supreme Court precedent, not a trendy concept
• According to Colion, an armed citizenry functions as a deterrent that prevents tyranny without needing to be used, similar to insurance
• Colion argues that critics who claim the tyranny argument is obsolete are essentially asking citizens to surrender freedom and trust that those in power will remain benign
